Modern Dance School Opens Wednesday Opportunity for ballroom dancing experts to "brush up" on the latest variations, and for beginners to learn the basic steps is being offered to Anaheimers beginning next Wednesday by the Finch Dance studios, Eagle's hall, 135 West Center street. Director of the new school of modern dancing, which specializes in private lessons only, is Mrs. Marjorie Finch, formerly an instructor of the Alley Dance Studios, Seattle, Washington. All types of ballroom dancing including Rumba, fox-trot, jitterbug and samba will be featured. Tap dancing and ballet will not be taught. Mrs. Finch is the wife of an Anaheimer, O. L. Finch, recently discharged from the Navy. After two year's service in the South Pacific as an aviation ordnance man, Finch returned to the States and was stationed at Seattle, where he and Mrs. Finch first met. The popular couple have been married almost two years. Finch plans to enroll for the second semester at the Junior College at Santa Ana. The couple hope to see the studio's grand opening celebrated with the installation of a telephone, promised for Tuesday, and a new neon sign. Music for lessons is provided by de luxe radio phonographs. FJC Night School Semester Set New semester for Fullerton Junior college night education classes will commence January 27.

THREE-CORNERED ENSEMBLE DRAWS HUGE CROWD Diapers, rare (and essential) wearing apparel of the younger generation "were in" this Tuesday morning evidenced by a double line of Anaheimers, both masculine and feminine, which wound in both directions to the doors of J. C. Penny Company, 124 West Center street, awaiting the 9:30 o'clock opening. Phone Company Reports 1946 Expansion With over 1,213,000 telephones in its Southern California area, the Southern California Telephone Company gained 157,000 telephones during the year, which is more than double the increase of any other year in the history of the company, according to R. J. Rossberg, manager of the local Southern California Telephone company. For the new year the telephone company will carry forward an expansion program which should better the record made during the past year, the manager said. Here are some of the highlights of 1946: Nineteen major new buildings or building additions were completed and another 20 are under construction. This does not include the scores of large and small building re-arrangements that provided more floor space for new equipment. The company increased its personnel by 5,000 men and women to raise the total number of employees to over the 25,000 mark. This is a 25 per cent increase in one year. The 550 switchboard positions of all types added last year, requiring 2,200 new operators, would make a line of switchboards two city blocks long. The motor fleet of the telephone company was increased by 35 per Orange Market Shows Decline According to reports reaching California shippers from eastern markets, the retail demand for oranges during the Christmas holiday period was generally quite disappointing. The strong market prevailing on California fruit prior to the holidays declined sharply after Christmas and the average return on navels is still at too low a level. Shippers believe, however, that recent light shipments from the west, plus the ten day "shipping holiday" in Florida should result in an improved orange market. The holiday "break" in the strong orange demand has been the subject of wide discussion among citrus shippers and the wholesale and retail trade. It is the general opinion that excessive shipments from all producing areas was the principal factor contributing to the sharp decline. Florida prices improved 31 cents per box during the week ending Dec. 28, immediately prior to the shipping holiday in that state. With shipments from Florida resumed on January 1, indications were that about 2250 cars of oranges and 500 cars of grapefruit would move from there during the week ending Jan. 4. Florida shipments for the week of January 11 were estimated to be about 3500 cars of oranges and 625 grapefruit. The Orange Administrative Committee established a prorate of 890 cars from California-Arizona for the week ending January 4. OAC recommendation for the week of January 11 has been set at 1050 cars of Central-Northern navels; 150 Southern; and 50 Arizona for a total of 1250 cars. The lemon market generally has been holding up quite well with prices substantially above last year but recent heavy shipments have resulted in some accumulation and prices this week are lower than the past few weeks. In view of the decline in the lemon FJC Night School Semester Set New semester for Fullerton Junior college night education classes will commence January 27. Enrollment for high school and junior college credit in the variety of courses offered is open now and that date, at the adult education office on the high school campus. Following the Christmas holidays, classes resumed this Monday. Courses offered include American institutions, blueprint reading and mechanical drawing, bookkeeping, civics, comptometry, English, ground school, United States history, jewelry and metalwork, machine shop, physical education, for both men and women, photography, pottery, psychology, public speaking, sewing—beginning and advanced, Spanish, beginning and advanced typing, arc and gas welding, woodwork, mathematics—beginning and advanced, shorthand, and orchestra. "PASS THE DRUMSTIK, PLEASE" Enjoying a delectable turkey dinner and the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rubaker, Jr., of Orange of New Year's Day, were Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Howard; Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Horn and daughter, Della, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pannier and daughter, Jeanne, and son, Bobby. All agreed it was a wonderful way to "start the New Year right!" The company increased its personnel by 5,000 men and women to raise the total number of employees to over the 25,000 mark. This is a 25 per cent increase in one year. The 550 switchboard positions of all types added last year, requiring 2,200 new operators, would make a line of switchboards two city blocks long. The motor fleet of the telephone company was increased by 35 per cent during the year to raise the number of trucks and vehicles to over 2,300. A number of new garages were constructed for the company to house these additional 600 service and construction vehicles. Despite their age, all vehicles that would operate safely were kept in service. Despite this unprecedented increase of 157,000 telephones, the number of unfilled applications for telephone service increased from 124,000 to 140,000 during the year. New demand for telephone service came in faster than old applications could be filled. The manager said that the expansion of telephone facilities and personnel, despite the continued shortages of some critical materials and equipment, would continue throughout the company's area during the coming year. During 1946 1,129 telephones were gained in Anaheim the manager said. There are now 4,597 telephones in Anaheim.
